About the event

YA Fantasy - Bex Hogan in conversation with Holly Race
Do come to our fabulous FREE event with fantasy writer @bex_hogan on Friday 10th October - 7:00 pm in conversation with Holly Race. Best to book early as depending on the size of the audience we will be in the bookshop or across the road at Huntingdon Methodist Church.

Bex and Holly are brilliant storytellers and have lots of experience to share about writing, plots, the publishing journey and of course the world of fantasy.

We will have books too and both authors will be happy to answer questions, do photos and sign books.

This will be a special night, the day after Bex’s new book Owl King is published.

Discover the joy of escaping into alternative worlds with YA fantasy author Bex Hogan in conversation with Holly Race.

We adored Bex’s most recent book Nettle and Owl King is her wonderful new standalone book in the series.

Get ready to enter the realms of faeries, curses, dreams and nightmares. Book signing to follow.

Bex Hogan has always loved fantasy and faery tales, particularly the dangerous and unsettling ones which left her feeling thrilled and scared. Writing her stories down was a natural progression and she enjoys sharing her time between the real world and escaping to her imagination. A Cornish girl at heart, Bex now lives in Cambridgeshire with her family. She has previously published the Isles of Storm and Sorrow trilogy and Black Heat with Hachette. Owl King is the second faery tale in the Faery Realms series with Zephyr, the first of which Nettle came out in paperback in July 2025. Owl King is a dark and dreamy tale of love, deception, and survival. Long ago, kings and queens of the faery realms exchanged talismans with one another to maintain stability in their world.

Holly Race is a writer and script editor, and has worked for companies including Working Title Films, Aardman Animations and Red Planet Pictures. She is a Faber Academy graduate, and her YA urban fantasy trilogy, MIDNIGHT'S TWINS, A GATHERING MIDNIGHT and A MIDNIGHT DARK AND GOLDEN was published by Hot Key Books (2020-22). She lives in Cambridge. Her adult debut novel Six Wild Crowns delivers a heart-pounding romantasy saga revolving around the famed six Tudor queens, mixing history with magic and putting a sultry, sapphic and utterly transformative spin on the wives of Henry VIII.
